If you have kneaded the dough for a good five minutes and it is still sticky then yes, just add a bit more flour and then knead again. Kneading is very important to get rid of the stickiness. I hope that helps!

This dough worked out much better than the dough that I used to make fossils last year. I did need to add more flour before giving it to the kids to knead. After they baked we “aged” them with brown chalk. We are taking them to the office tomorrow to play a trick on the principal (who is playing along). We are going to tell her that we found dinosaur bones on the playground!

It acts immediately on all your garage concerns as quickly
as possible. Steel garage doors cost about $600 for the most basic variety and there are many more styles which are priced accordingly.
These tend to be the noisiest of doors so bear this in mind if you have
a bedroom above and need to use the door when
people may be sleeping.

Brenda, you can put it in the fridge in a plastic ziplock bag or food container until you are ready to use it and it should not get hard at all. If it seems a little hard (it shouldn’t be) you can add just a tiny bit of water and knead it again and it should be totally fine.
